gift envelope

Hello,
Good day to you!
I made a box type gift envelope that can make your gifting unique and special. You can use it for gifting money, gift card, chocolates etc. I used Papericious Ephemera pack and brown card stock. I decorated with hand made flowers and die cuts.

Here are a few pictures.

I have done a photo tutorial for the envelope. The dimensions are what I used to create, but it can be changed as you require. Always make a template with a scrap paper and then make the final one.

This envelope has two parts a box and a cover.

For the box

Take a card stock and trim it to 8.5" x 7.5" in size.

On the 8.5" side score .5" from both the ends.

On 7.5" side score at 3.5" and 4"

Cut at 3.5" and 4" up to the half inch mark.

Now fold at the score lines. I did not remove the small flaps since I thought it will give a perfect closure at the corners and strength.

Fold and glue the side flaps.

The cover.

Trim a card stock to 11" x 8"

On the 11" side score at 3 5/8", 4 1/8", 7 3/4" and 8 1/4"

The remaining 2 3/4" at the end will be the flap.

On the flap end, I marked 1" down from the tip and drew an offset 'V' shape. You can create any shape for the flap.

Decorate with pattern paper and embellishments.

I used magnets for closure. If you are using them, stick it before you paste your pattern paper.

Hope the method is clear. This is the first photo tutorial I have done. Suggestions are welcome so that I can improve. Do leave your comments below.
